Childhood

It was a time when..
Life was about spending time with the people who mattered
Mornings were about waking up to the divine smell of city bakery’s brun pav
Summer was about spending time with grandma and her maids
Diwali was about bursting crackers with my father
Beauty was about growing up to look like my mother
A good meal was about eating together as a family with our 3 dogs
Wisdom was about arguing with grandfather
Grades and marks were totally harmless
Traveling alone in a BEST bus was the ultimate dream
A visit to the dentist was about getting an ice cream
Christmas was about magic
Our childhood outlines us as individuals
Mine defined my way of life…
